Folded structures
Like other schools of architecture and design (M.I.T., Cambridge, USA; RWTH, Aachen, DE; University of Westminster, London, UK; EPFL, Lausanne, CH; historicky i Bauhaus, Dessau, DE) in our two classes "Space and light in architecture" and "Space and shape" we use folding techniques as a means of spatial thinking and material driven design development.
The work with fine paper gives our students the chance to physically test its advantages and limits. Their designs are based on the natural properties of the media in search for spatial stiffness. Students then will be able to apply this "honest" approach in building with real materials in the architectural scale.
The transformation of paper schemes to a more robust material allows them to evaluate the viability of their designs. They also get a valuable feedback during the adjustment phase, when they are asked to build from a sturdy and thicker flat material and by the actual fabrication.
We exhibit some of the 2013/2014 designs - abstract schemes of modular lamp shades and samples of interior elements made of the real material.
